Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for neurological issues, right and left upper extremities, right and left foot nerve damage, and skin cancer to obtain medical examinations and opinions related to in-service exposure to lead paint and sun exposure.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to a duty to assist error regarding obtaining VA examinations and medical opinions addressing the possibility of a nexus between the claimed disabilities and in-service toxic exposures or sun exposure.
